Answer:

3.93 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

It is known that the missing value is the leg

Substitute in 5.3 for leg 1 and 6.6 for the hypotenuse

5.3^{2} + b^{2} = 6.6^{2}

Solve exponents

28.09 + b^{2} = 43.56

Subtract 28.09 from both sides of the equation

b^{2} = 15.47

Simplify

b = 3.93 cm

3.93 cm

Hope this helps :)

We are trying to find the unknown leg of the triangle and we can use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

5.3^2 + b^2 = 6.6^2

28.09 + b^2 = 43.56

28.09 - 28.09 + b^2 = 43.56 - 28.09

b^2 = 15.47

√b^2 = √15.47

b = 3,9331...

Lets round to the bearest hundreth.

3.9331... ≈ 3.93

Therefore, the length of the unknown leg is approximately 3.93cm.

Best of Luck!

mrs. johnson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 5:6. Her daughter received $2400. how muh did Mrs. Johnson
Tresset [83]
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son.  Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.

So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.

The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
